GCOA CEO Michael Hodin spoke to Zoomer Radio about the importance of adult vaccination and other preventive measures as a means to promote healthy aging.
Let’s move on from the twentieth century, where older people were thought of as dependents. Older people can – and must — contribute to economic growth.
There is a growing body of research and data to show that immunizations against some of the more specific age-related health challenges - such as pneumococcal disease, herpes zoster, and others - are economically feasible investments that can create large public health benefits.
GCOA gives business a seat at the table with governments, global institutions and NGOs to work collaboratively as partners to solve the most pressing challenges of our aging society.”
